Teresa Sievers murder trial to begin in October, but which suspect will be tried first?
Update
1)“On Monday the judge denied a motion by Jimmy Rodgers team to continue their trial. Rodgers team cited issues with new evidence coming to light as recently as Friday and more than 4,000-pages of DNA analyses received from the FBI just weeks ago”
(My comment....didn’t JRR team say they were ready just last week? Think they want MS to go first)
Judge said the trial has been posted once before and he was not having both postponed again...one of the trials will happen. Trial date stays the same OCTOBER 1
2) The judge reserved ruling on the motion from Michael Mummert, questioning why the new expert witnesses were necessary.
MS team looking for new experts.
3) JRR defense wants DP dropped saying the state did not file it correctly...wrong time frame and wrong information
DENIED
4) both defense teams want to reinterview CWW GRANTED will happen quickly with his attorny and the state present
5) “A handful of business record certifications were questioned by Sievers's and Rodger's respective attorneys. They argued that the documents didn't meet the standards outlined in Florida law to qualify them as confirmed business records.” PARTLY DENIED “the request but did say he would reserve ruling on several arguments that the person authorizing the release of the records was not properly qualified or alerted to their role.”
6) All parties agreed to some ways in finding a jury in LEE County. Judge wants them to work on this.
7) Judge Kyle ordered wants all sides to continue filing and ‘setting motions’.
The Judge did not say which trial would go first MS or JRR
On Oct 1.
I would like to see MS go first but I don’t know if that is a good idea or bad. Anyone have an opinion on which trial would go first? No matter what CWW will go last it appears.
